Okay after doing some tests a few nights ago I’ve found out a few things:
*Yes it is true that posts with regular links to non-tumblr sites won’t show up in searches.
*Posts to a page on your tumblr blog with links to non-tumblr sites will show up in the search.
*However what I find more interesting is if you make tumblr re-direct links through your customize blog page to non-tumblr sites and put them in your posts those posts will still appear on Tumblr search. Special thanks to Adurot for pointing this out to me via Clone That got Away. Here’s a link to the reblog that explains how to do it.
I’ll probably most likely be going with the third option for future art and comic posts.
Update: Turns out this doesn’t work. Or at least, not as well as it should. Yes the posts with the custom links do show up in the searches eventually, but only a few days to a week after you post them (either that or there’s something wrong with my posts).
Just to be safe I’m not going to include links in my future posts for the time being.

Bad news: I haven’t heard back from the job I was interviewed for.
Good news: None at the moment.
Since last week there has been 1 donation towards the goal to help pay bills and rent while job searching, which brings the tally so far at:
$105.15 out of $2000. Thanks to those who donated.
CRITICAL UPDATE:
It’s now the middle of the month. Job searching has not been going well, I’m not sure what’s going to happen and it’s really making me anxious and unhappy.
I have to pay $600 for rent by the end of the month, and I am close to being flat broke, not mentioning the other payments that need to be made at the same time.
To those who have helped me in the past, please consider helping me again at this time. I need it, I sincerely do.
I keep praying every day that people will help me by donating to help pay the bills, as well as pray that I’ll get a job soon. I’m still hoping that will come to fruition…it’s just tough to keep faith that something will happen that quickly.
My paypal for those wondering is ecsd@shaw.ca
ecsd@shaw.ca
ecsd@shaw.ca
The reason for repeating that is for others to see and remember.
TL;DR: This is critically urgent! I am not fibbing, I’m not lying, I’m not playing a joke, this is serious. I am still unemployed, I have not been successful finding work and I’m a few dollars away from being flat broke.
I. need. help!
If you have donated to me before, please consider doing it again, and if you haven’t before, please consider donating and sharing this post and I will acknowledge you for doing so.
okay i know ive posted alot about this just now, but now that ive got it more or less figured out I’m gonna make a better post here and include the tags relevent to my interactions in it to ensure no one else in my fandoms/communities are blindsided like i was.
I encourage you to make your own, or to just recopy this, tagging the fandoms and communities important to you!
CONTENT CREATORS: TUMBLR IS HIDING YOUR POSTS!
If you make a post with external links, your post will be hidden from searches. If you make a post and link to your redbubble, no one can search for your post. If you make art and link it to your deviantart or artstation, no one can search for you post. If you make any post and just throw on a “hey here is where you find me!” no one can search that post. If you want to recommend a fic or a youtube video, no one can search your post, if you… hell you get the idea. Tumblr has completely shut down content creators on this hellsite and its fucking infuriating.
Edit:
I have just confirmed that the post type “Link” also does not show up in the tags. Thats right, there is an ENTIRE TYPE OF TUMBLR POST that cannot be searched. G-FUCKING-G TUMBLR.
WHAT TO DO?
It shuts down posts with external links, so at first i assumed internal links would be fine. and they are. if you make a page on your tumblr blog called like /links or something you can certainly link to that. But in that way you run into an issue, tumblr mobile is a piece of shit and cant load tumblr pages, and itll just take you back to the mainblog any time you try.
The best solution ive found so far is put all your relevent links in your blog description like so:
and then in every content post, call tumblr out for being a piece of shit and direct them to the links in your blog description.
Edit: In the top right hand side of photo posts you can click on it and include a single link as “source” that should work if you have one link neccessary. though if you need more you are still SOL.
CONTENT CREATOR SUPPORTERS
It is important now more than ever on this hellsite that you try to support your artist and content creators, reblog as much as possible, look to find them on websites off this piece of shit, and generally do your best to spread the word and support them, since tumblr itself is trying to silence them!
Holy shit. Now I know why no one is commenting on my videos. I upload them to YouTube because tumblr won’t play them.
Glad other people notice that too! Made two posts about that issue on April this year. It is infuriating how bad Tumblr’s search engine is!
Well this explains why my Rebel Pixels blog totally failed…
oh good thanks tumblr I totally wasn’t relying on you to help spread the word for the new things I was trying
What the actual fuck, tumblr?
NOBODY LOOKS AT MY CREATOR PAGE!
My links need to be ON the posts.
Why does every big website blow ass these days?
If this is true I will need to relook at how i structure my posts…. posting here so everyone can see this.
Ive actually been searching my posts in the tags i use and they never seem to come up. Now this makes sense!
With this news I’ll probably have to restructure my posts as well. I’ll most likely include a link to a page on one of my blogs that has a list of my links there.
